Cathay Pacific, the Hong Kong flag carrier, is gearing up for a return to pre-Covid levels of capacity in the upcoming year. The airline has ambitious plans to fully utilise its permitted capacity and expand its route network. In February of the following year, Cathay Pacific is set to introduce flights to Chennai, with Hyderabad to follow shortly after. Currently, the airline’s capacity stands at 60 per cent, but it is projected to increase to 70 per cent by the conclusion of 2023. Cathay Pacific currently operates 28 flights from India, serving three major cities: Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. By the end of this year, it plans to have daily flight allocation at Bengaluru, and by the next year aims to operate daily flights to Chennai, currently served with three weekly flights, as per a report.
